Dear Susan, I just saw a Facebook post of yours last night and was so sorry to learn that Ken had passed away. He was one of Al's first partners at MPD and I remember him picking me up to take me to the hospital after Al was in a wreck. I lost Al in December 2021. Still miss him every day but so blessed to know he is not sick any more and with our precious Savior. Prayers for you as you grieve the loss of your good and precious husband. It's so tough but God is still good and He will see us through. ''Until Then''as the song goes my heart will go on singing. So blessed that we serve a great and wonderful God and we will see our sweet men again one day. Also, remember the sweet times y'all were at Broadmoor with us. My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Love, Joyce Dewitt
